Defender is the one that destroys any barrier in its path and completely launches leaps ahead of any standard and sets an example for many to follow, although an almost impossible one. Its got the Jag Panzer’s Ample Destruction, complexities that nearly surpass Metal Church’s, and with the speed that easily lands them a spot in old school speed/power territory.
The sound is tremendously heavy and frighteningly dark. The drums blast away until no tomorrow while the guitars and bass completely dominate the thick atmosphere.

One and only full-length release of the Dutch speed/power metal band DEFENDER, containing all their previously released material! This is the long OOP and extremely rare ORIGINAL first-pressing from 2001 (NOT a Greek bootleg!), never re-released and impossible to find nowadays!!!
